Help needed
"Light below"
or whatever, taken on Sunday from near Stanage Edge. I'm pretty much OK with the edit except for the sky. The light below was provided by the sun shining through a few holes in fairly dark clouds.
I just can't find a satisfactory solution to them. Normally, if burning in was not working I would copy some other clouds across an overly bright area on a new layer set to darken. Not happening for me this time so any suggestions very welcome please.

Re: Help needed
Hi Bill, I am a into the light shooter and this is a problem that cant be resolved by any type of layer . This how I errr cheat.
Copy the layer, then using the clone stamp tool sample it from an area within the sky that's bright but with tone, using a soft edge brush paint in from the clone sampled area, the trick is to blend it in without it looking obvious, and the brush opacity is the key to this [as shown in the tutorial]. Don't clone always at 100%,vary it as you get to the centre of the hot spot, you can then fine tune it with the opacity slider in the layer palette.Don't try to do it all at once, might take a couple of goes to build it and get it right. Thats my way of fixing it and no body ever said "hey thats cloned from somewhere else" on web or in print, Another way is to "move" the image on a seperate layer and place the good cloud over the hot spot, layer mask it and paint in detail from the good part. I like the clone tool best.
